MEMPHIS Tenn, October 6.-About the
18th of September four white men employed
at the stove factory near Brunswick, Tenn,
in this county, arrested anegro named Jim
Easter, on some slight preteIt and, after
binding his hands, carried him into a cane
brake where they shot him to death, They
then they tied a sack Of mud around
his neck and threw him into the HOtchie
river, where the body was discovered about
three days afterward. W. p. COffman, one
of the men implicated In the murder, was
arrested at Brunswick. The three others
fed. Al McMahOn, one of the murderers
went to Ord, Nebraska, where he was
arrested by the sheriff Of that county
and placed In jail. Two deputy
sheriffs, armed with a requisitiOn from Gov
amor Robert /. Taylor, Of Tennessee, to
Governor j. Thayer, Of Nebraska, left ten
days ago to bring the fugitive back to
justice. They returned to Memphis
this morning empty handed. Governor
Ihayer refused to recognize the requisitiOn
of Tennessee's governor. He makes
no excuses, simply saying he declined to is
sue a warrant OF eXtraditon. This conduct
has created much indignation hOre. AttOr-
ney General George B. Peters and other
leading attorneys have SO far been unabls TO
find q parallel case IN the books.

Davitt on the Labor Problem.

MBEEAPoLIs, MINI. October 5.-Michael
Davitt, IN speaking before an informal gath.
6r1ng of knights of Labor, said:
'.4Our corporations have no trouble IN
hlching the landed patrimOny Of the repub-
lie. Thus, IN part, you are indebted to the
Irish movement. The struggle OF masses the
against the classes is the same everywhere.
The desire for a better social condition Is
the chief problem of modern craftsmanship.
Thus, 1t is an international struggle. The
battle of humanity must be fought every
where. Emigration under normal cOudi-
tons would be right, but in Ireland no
economic necessity exists for il, but
the reverse. No country is more in need OF
the labor which is being forced away from
it. Here thousands of acres are suffering
for cultivation. When this labor reaches
your shores 1t Is impoverished. 1t seeks en-
plOyment in your eastern CiTies and com
petes with yOu. Thus it conflicts with your
working classes. With forced emigration,
England Is killing two birds with one stone:
she is Kidding herself of the Celtic element
and reducing American wOrkingmen to her
level Of wages. This is phase Of the immi
grafton question would ask you to cOnsid-
or. The ruling classes are sndeavOring to
make the English Workingmen emigrats
too.

BOSTON, October 5.-Josephine Miller, an
amateur actress and public reader OF high
reputation, was arrested yesterday after
from the residence Of the Rev. Julian
Smith, pastor of the Church of New Jerusa-
lem at Boston Highlands. Mr.. Smith let
his residence during his summer vacation
to Miss Miller. Returning home he found
the house vacated and over 500 worth of
bricabrac and house furnishings missing.
Soon bills came In for several cases Of
champagne which had been charged to the
clergyman. From the neighbors and police
he learned that the house had been every
night the scene of the widest reveIry, and
the place had been the resort of some of the
best known bloOds about town. Mr.. Smith
was scandalized and caused the arrest of his
former tenant. Miss Miller said that she
did not intend to steal the property but that
it was packed up by mistake.

LEXINGTON, KY, October 5.-This morn
ing eighteen men armed with Winchesters
came from Soldiers station, on the COIum-
bus & Ohio road, to parade. 1t is said there
are or will be 15Omen armed secreted around
town. These men, it seems, belong to the
Logan faction, and are gathering because
news has been brought that a part Of the
TOllivers' friends intend to come
from Elliott county and burn the
town. Boon Logan is in Morehead,
and it was he who ordered the assembling
Of men. It is certain that messengers sent
to bring in more men got on the train at
Morehead to-day and that Allie W. Young
boarded the train at Mt. Sterling yesterday
morning and went to MOrehead. Every
body feels that there is trouble of the very
worst sort ahead. Judge Dehaston will hold
a special term of court at MOrehead some
time this month for the trial of Harris, alias
Pendulum for conspiracy to murder
Judge Cole and Taylor Young.

weeks ago 4. Nj. Findley, deputy county at

warrant issued by Judge Merrick, of Harper,
for malfeasanoe in Office. Anthony parties
had him released on a writ Of habeas corpus
and taken before the probate Judge, the
judge reserving his decision for several days
in fact has made none yet. In the mean
time and pending the decision Of the judge,
another warrant charging him with another
offense was issued and he was arrested and
brought to Harper. The probate judge issued
warrants for the parties and the attorneys
who were supposed to have
advised the second arrest charging
them with contempt. They were tried and
by him fined and sentenced to jail. They
asked leave to appeal, which he refused
whereupOn q writ of habeas corpus was pro
cured from Judge Herrick, judge of the dis
trict court, and their trial set for to-day,
upon the hearing of which all the defend
ants were discharged upon the ground that
the probate Judge had no jurisdiction. Lee
land J. Webb, of Topeka, appeared for the
defendants. This is the first blood for Har-
per in the county seat contest, and it is con-
sidered a decisive victory for Harper.

have used their official and personal infiu-

a step. The commissioners wish to dis
claim any interference In the question Of

whether the territory be admitted or not,

abandonment of the practice of pOlygamy,
